Replying To S1234:  "Walsh suffers to much with injury he is not a starter . Ryan O'Donoghue is a much better forward then Walsh . There is no way Walsh would replace Ryan O'Donoghue.

It was a nughtmare season for the whole Mayo panel in 25 not just Ryan O'Donoghue hence the new management for us. Your wearing your marooned tinted glasses as usual . Ye will probably win connacht as we are rebuilding but Walsh is reclining ."
Reclining, is it? What, like in a sun lounger?

Ah, maybe we should move on here!

Hilarious you know what I meant Walsh is well passed his peak days. Ryan O ' D will be much better this year with the return of Cillian & Tommy C so all the pressure is not on Ryan .

Galway are an ageing team .

Its hard not to rise to the bait on this . Im 99% certain that you are making tongue in cheek comments to get a rise out of us. But just on the 1% chance that you are in earnest, i have to say "are you in earnest?". Ryan o donoghue is a very hard hearted player with a fair degree of skill and we would definitely like to have in our team. But to compare him with Shane Walsh is nothing short of delusional. SW is moving towards his twilight years but he is still lightning quick with ball in hand, and he is not going to get any less skillful. His role will have to evolve a little over the remainder of his career, but he is still a key player and if Mayo had him, he would be the 1st name on the team sheet. Interesting that you call out Shanes age in the same breath as Cillian O Connor,who is more than 1 year older, as being a contributor to Mayo's effectiveness in 2026.
